Gluten Free Fried Green Tomatoes

Fried green tomatoes are an earned delight. We wait to break down the tomato plants until just before the first 30°F night. Then we pick all that we can stand (this year it was 100 Lb) and then rock and roll with them until the very last fruit is used.

Waiting for the cold is essential because the tomatoes are essentially ripe with flavor but not in color.

We served these at the restaurant on our $5 menu and they always sold out.

WHAT TO DO
Marinate the slices of tomatoes in sugar, salt and pepper for 2 hours
Whisk GF flour and cheddar in a bowl
Dip tomatoes into coconut flour bowl
Then dip them in the whisked egg bowl
Them dip them in the flour and cheese bowl
Pan fry in oil for 2 minutes each side
Transfer to a plate with paper towels. Hold in a warm oven while you cook the rest of the batches.

NOTES
You can get away with less frying oil, but the more you have the easier it is to fry the tomatoes.
